I’m not all that familiar with Guy Ritchie’s work. I’ve seen his Sherlock Holmes films, King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, and Aladdin (2019), but I don’t really count those as “Guy Ritchie films”. His signature style is one you see in his films like Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch, and RocknRolla, […]

People on the run from the law; what a classic concept. Nothing quite says high stakes and suspense like the police being on your tail, wanting to arrest or kill you at every turn. Want to make it more interesting? Then make them a romantic couple! You […]

Martin Scorsese. Robert De Niro. Al Pacino. Joe Pesci. Those four names all equal one word: legendary. Scorsese was instrumental in bringing back the auteur, studio-be-damned method of filmmaking in the 1970’s.

Oh, Robert Pattinson, you’ve come so far. Remember when you were doing schlock like Twilight? I’m sure you’d like to forget, but hey, we all have to make our big break somewhere, I suppose. Just like your co-star Kristen Stewart, you’ve shown that you’re actually an actor […]

Action films, especially of the martial arts variety, are primarily about one thing: display. The entire point is to watch people perform insane stunts and choreography, while also realistically portraying brutal fights to the death. As filmmaking technology, especially editing, has improved, action filmmaking has only improved […]
